Default LS1 Rebuild in DFW
Who can do LS1 rebuilds in DFW? I just want a factory rebuild or something very mild, as I am on a tight budget and need to get my car running right asap. Pm me or post up any info you have on shops and their prices, etc. I don't mind someone doing it who does mechanic work on the side as long as someone can vouch for their work.

I just took on one LS1 rebuild the other day actually. Me and a buddy do them at his shop. Depending on what needs to be done is whats going to determine the cost. Are we pulling it, or is it already out, etc. pm me if your interested.
